Review of Saxon State Opera Dresden

Certainly, opera plays staged here are top flight, but when it comes to visiting the building with a guide, it is below expectations. Walking through all corridors is far too long and the guide tells you too long. There is too much information, which makes them uninteresting, and visitors are forced to constantly stand in one place and look at what is actually nice, but what has already been seen. I had high hopes that after entering the audience it will be less boring. Unfortunately, it was also possible to sit there, which resulted in my fight with automatically closing eyes. They didn't even reveal the scene for us. A fascinating place created with artistry, but spoiled by tourism.
